YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - The public is invited to tour the Feather River California Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The open house runs from Saturday, August 19, through Saturday, September 9, 2023, except for Sunday, August 20, 27, and September 3, 2023. After the open house, the temple will be formally dedicated on Sunday, October 8, 2023, in two sessions. Information on free reservations for tours will be announced in coming weeks.

The 38,000 square foot temple is located at 1470 Butte House Road in Yuba City, California. A new meetinghouse and distribution center have also been built next to it to meet the needs of members of the Church throughout the area.

The Feather River California Temple was first announced by Church President Russell M. Nelson in October 2018 and is one of nine temples in California. Currently, there are seven temples operating in Fresno, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Oakland, Redlands, Sacramento, and San Diego. An eighth temple in Modesto has been announced. They serve over 735,000 members of the Church in California in 1,189 congregations.

Latter-day Saint temples differ from the meetinghouses or chapels where members meet for Sunday worship services. Temples are considered “houses of the Lord” where Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through sacred ordinances that unite families for eternity. Inside, members learn more about the purpose of life and make covenants to serve Jesus Christ and others.  For more information, please go to FeatherRiverTemple.org.
